Without The Capacity To Provide Its Own

We Have All Experienced Times When, Instead Of Being Buffeted By Anonymous Forces, We Do Feel In Control Of Our Actions, Masters Of Our Own Fate. On The Rare Occasions That It Happens, We Feel A Sense Of Exhilaration, A Deep Sense Of Enjoyment That Is Long Cherished And That Becomes A Landmark In Memory For What Life Should Be Like.. Moments Like These Are Not The Passive, Receptive, Relaxing Timesthe Best Moments Usually Occur When A Person’s Body Or Mind Is Stretched To Its Limits In A Voluntary Effort To Accomplish Something Difficult And Worthwhile.

I Have A Naive Trust In The Universe - That At Some Level It All Makes Sense, And We Can Get Glimpses Of That Sense If We Try.

For Better Or Worse, Our Future Is Now Closely Tied To Human Creativity.

It Is When We Act Freely, For The Sake Of The Action Itself Rather Than For Ulterior Motives, That We Learn To Become More Than What We Were.

The Foremost Reason That Happiness Is So Hard To Achieve Is That The Universe Was Not Designed With The Comfort Of Human Beings In Mind...it Seems That Every Time A Pressing Danger Is Avoided A New And More Sophisticated Threat Appears On The Horizon...whether We Are Happy Depends On Inner Harmony, Not On The Controls We Are Able To Exert Over The Great Forces Of The Universe
